This is a cooperation between illu and I meant to document and archive funny/entertaining quotes from various users of the #finalchan channel, starting with 2015. It's going to take a longass time to get through everything, but it's getting there.

Special thanks to illu for making the site look about 100% better and getting github to stop being a shit.

Feel free to recommend quotes as well if you so please. And finally, if you don't see your name in the quote list yet, don't worry, we're working to get everyone we can in it!

Thank You

Thank you Finalchan.

This isn't really a suggestion or a complaint, I'm just putting some thoughts out into the open. I've been here quite some time and love the fact I call this website, this community my home. I don't feel the need to specify who I am but I'm guessing you all can put two and two together.

Lately, some people seem disheartened with this place. "There's not enough people", "It's just not the same", whatever the reasons may be, people feel that the spark is gone. I'd like to counter that. Because as far as I'm concerned, it's not.

Through this place I've met some of the most important people in my life. I've met people I can confide in, people I can vent to, people I can rely on. People I care about. Through this place, I can truly feel like I'm a part of shaping a community. Through this place, even with my name set to anonymous, I'm somebody.

Thank you Finalchan. Thank you Illu, thank you Torrential, and Streetcar and Shoop and Palestrina. All of you. And thank you the most Anon, because you're what makes us one, the one community. The closest community. The best community. Thank you for allowing me to participate in this, and please, never stop. Never end, because there's somebody here who cares.

This is our final destination, but by no means is this the end.

BOARD LIST CHANGES

Later today the great pruning will take place. In an attempt to consolidate and improve the optics of activity, designated boards will be removed from the board list and combined with /r/.

The boards selected for integration are /an/, /v/, and /t/.

If there are any threads you wish to archive from these boards, it is suggested that you do so immediately. The initial notice of this change was 3 months ago. There has been plenty of time to backup your favorites.

Please note that this is not an attempt to limit the board topics from conversations. New anime, video game, and technology posts should be initiated in /r/. As in the past, boards will expand based on topic popularity in /r/.

We now return you to your normal programming.

R: 6 / I: 1Now that vichan is officially dead/dying, would you consider switching over to NPFchan? It is to vichan what vichan was to tinyboard itself

R: 18 / I: 7Anyone want to do a Finalchan movie night on Halloween? We could do a strawpoll to figure out movies and whatnot.

Us mods and admins have been talking about making some changes to the current board scheme. There is a severe post disparity between the boards. Specifically /an/. We have also had talks about removing /t/, /v/, and /p/, while keeping /wwe/ as it's own board (/wwe/ is a working title, might be different in practice). /p/ might return at a later date, however, it hasn't been changed in months and nobody has really requested a new board idea recently.

As another incidental consequence, /an/ seems to be a hub for spam posting. We have a couple ideas as to why this is; either the bots are searching for common board names, or the bot is picking the first in the boardlist. If the latter is the case, it would unfortunately move the spam to /co/. However, if it's the former, removing /an/ would hopefully reduce spam by a decent amount.

This has been something under internal review for probably a couple months, and nobody has really done anything (lol). I figured we need to actually commit to this idea somewhat, so what do you guys think? Do you guys agree with any of these proposed changes, do you disagree? We won't make changes overnight, because Finalchan works slower than the U.S. government. You have ample time and opportunity to voice your opinions.

R: 0 / I: 0Thanks for the spam filters, faggots, they seem to be working.

R: 5 / I: 0Greetings from Mewch, finalchan!I come here to tell you that the cp spammer using our name and the domain ending in .cf is not us. It is simply using our name to share cp.

With love from your fellow comfy sister site.

This will be the only warning.

MOD EDIT: We aren't falling for your tricks. We're not going to flood a guys inbox because you pretend to be him. Grow some balls and punch him in the face if you don't like him. NYPA.

R: 7 / I: 2How would you all feel about the idea of creating board avatars, similar to how 4chan has board-tans? Could be sort of fun to get some drawfags from each board to contribute a bit.

R: 2 / I: 0Greetings FinalchanWould you like to do a link exchange with https://mewch.net?

R: 3 / I: 0Why is music discussion supposed to be posted on the technology board? I can not come up with a reason for this.

R: 11 / I: 0There are two Catalog links at least on Finalchan theme. Also a non-functioning Catalog link on /1984/.Also also, mobileshit-style timestamp ("X dicks ago") is ghey. I know it's possible to see real date and time on hover, it's still ghey.

R: 13 / I: 3It seems that there is a desire for another chan exodus. Would the site owner consider hosting a /pol/ here?

I would ask for BO but I'm fine if there are other people considered as well

when the fuck are you making an /int/ernational board? this will increase traffic/serious discussion as a whole for the site

R: 24 / I: 0can finalchan please consider using infinity next for a trial run? I want to play with it on a board that actually gets some traffic. It has become extremely stable recently. You can find an instance on https://16chan.nl

R: 11 / I: 1There have been a few posts asking about our privacy policies on Finalchan and here we will attempt to clarify some of them.

Finalchan does not share your data with any third parties. This doesn't mean your data isn't accessible to third parties. Finalchan allows the embedding of videos that are hosted on a number of other sites. Generally, a web browser will connect to those sites directly and in the process send information from your browser. This can be avoided with plugin/addons such as NoScript, PrivacyBadger, Disconnect, etc. and/or modifying your browsers configuration file.

The downside to these tools is that they may also hinder your experience of Finalchan. If you experience issues with streaming video, there is a very good chance that these addons are to blame. For instance, if you are using PrivacyBadger, it will block the sending of HTTP referrers to YouTube. The result is the video will inform you that YouTube does not allow playback on some sites. Disabling PrivacyBadger will play the video normally, but now your information is being sent to Google without the involvement of Finalchan. Many other tools block HTTP referrers, PrivacyBadger is only mentioned above as an example.

With the exception of embedded video, all other aspects of this website are locally hosted. Videos with the WebM file extension are locally hosted, and viewing them shares information with no entity. Themes, uploading, and some nice features use JavaScripts, which are also hosted by Finalchan. Allowing scripts from Finalchan will provide a better experience and will not result in privacy issues.

Finalchan utilizes analytic software to collect certain data about those who visit. This information includes your IP address, the browser version you were using when you visited the site, and the operating system you were running the browser from. We use this information to make decisions about enhancing the website, troubleshooting issues, and seeing which pages of the website are most accessed. The analytic software is hosted and maintained locally. We do not allow other sites or services access to this information.

IP addresses are used only for blocking troublemakers from the website. They are not aggregated, compiled, or sold to any other service.

We hope that this clarifies some of questions you may have. If there are any other, please feel free to use this board to pose them. Your concerns are of the utmost importance to us, especially regarding privacy. Also read the Rules page (there is a link at the top of every board) for further information.

Thank you,-Admin

R: 4 / I: 1There should be a board thats specifically for Tv shows, movies, and other forms of film.

Changes to board suggestion/creation system

So after a year of being on the same system, we've thought of something new to add to our current system. The changes won't be added until June 1st. That gives you guys exactly one week to give feedback and such.

We've taken inspiration from 7chan's /777/ and Uboachan's /wild/, and the idea is to have a new board called Probationary Period, or /p/. This board is going to be an addition to our current system. If you want to request a board, post a thread on /r/. If it gets enough attention, we'll do a trial run on /p/. That will run for a month, and depending on how active it is on /p/, it may be created into it's own board.

Little note though, we won't run it for 30 days, but for a month. So if it's February, it'll run for 28 days, if it's in May it'll run for 31 days. This is so that way we don't get super confused with how long it's been.

This new addition will allow us to try out more boards easily, as the reason why we didn't want to try out boards before, was due to the fact that if a board didn't do well, we'd have to delete it. Where with this idea, we just clear the board and restart. This allows us to be lazy and not have to fuck with the site configuration every time we want to add a board :^)

We already have two ideas lined up (possibly three):/pd/ - Political Discussion. This board would be moderated, and shitposting would not be tolerated./wa/ - Wallpapers and Art. This board would be a haven for wallpapers, all types of digital art. Unsure if music or movies would be posted here. Leave feedback for this, and suggest a better name if possible./an/ - Anime (??)

This thread will be the only exception to our pre-existing system, as we will be accepting board discussions in this thread if they are liked. On June 1st though, this thread will be locked.

I understand this is a long post, so I'll try to tl;dr:

New changes to board system starting on June 1st 2016. New board /p/ will act as a trial board for board ideas. Trials run for one month (not 30 days, but one month). If trial goes well, board is officially added. Core system will remain intact, board suggestions should still be a thread on /r/. Exception to this rule applies to this thread only, board suggestions are being accepted in this thread. This thread will be locked on June 1st.

R: 3 / I: 2Torrential for mod of the year

R: 2 / I: 0Say that one of the /p/ boards doesn't make it, would it be possible to move the existing threads to /r/? Or are they just deleted?

Post File Sizes

Hello, the FAQ under "What are the file limits?" states that I am allowed to have five 10mb files per post. In practice I am only allowed to post files that have a sum < 20mb. Example: I attempt to post three webms with sizes: 8mb, 6mb, 7mb. These have a sum of 21mb.

After the files are done uploading, I receive a message that says the server took to long to respond, and the post isn't posted.

R: 10 / I: 0Change the homepage from news to 1984 or the 4chan style page.The news gets updated rarely and it is useless to feature it on the homepage.

R: 3 / I: 0Make it so there is a spaceship icon next to the staff capcode, kind of like on 4chan.It would then be Anonymous ## Admin/Mod [spaceship].This would make it even harder to impersonate staff.

R: 0 / I: 0Please rename /s/ to Site. This board hostes more than just suggestions and complaints.

R: 2 / I: 0

Lag

Images I post aren't appearing anymore. For example… I can post replies without files but when I post with one it never shows up/takes a very long time to appear. Can you fix this problem?

R: 13 / I: 5Since I hate the stickies that feature rules, I thought that maybe we could have banners under the post form that told you to read the rules and/or FAQ. If you clicked the banner, it would take you to the FAQ or rules page.Made one we could use.

R: 3 / I: 0Orange text? It would be very simular to green text, however, you would end the line of text with < and the text would become orange. This feature was once on 4chan.

R: 1 / I: 0Admins, please add a feature "Preview post". You would click this before making a post to see how it would look. This would be useful to see if you used the correct syntax for changing text style, aswellas other minor things.

R: 6 / I: 2

Im tipping most people use 1984 when browsing. Can we make it so you can force anon on all boards except /sp/?

He said he will look at fixing the second one (and you could probably even do that yourself).But for now in the interest of security, is finalchan going to update?

R: 5 / I: 1Oh my God. Please put up some kind of warning that 3D is allowed on /e/I never EVER want to see a 3 dimensional female ever again.

Telegram Group!

We now have an official Telegram group! If you don't know what Telegram is, you can read about it here: https://telegram.org/Tip: It requires a phone number to sign up, however it isn't shared unless you want to share it.

That above was for people who use recents, since the second one is kind of important and the whole post won't be shown in recents. Anyway.

1. /pol/ was the April Fools joke, if you hadn't noticed. It'll be gone in a bit. Fuck you faggetttss. /pol/ is a joke, and it's cancer. Finalchan will never have a /pol/. If we ever decide to make the board seriously, kill us. Please.

2. Finalchan's IRC server will be switching servers soon. Unfortunately, we're having issues with DNS not updating. So if you try to connect through irc.finalchan.net in the near future, and it doesn't work, please connect through 192.99.249.204 instead. This is the IP for the new server.

There is no reason for this on a shitposting board, and it's limiting. Can we take it down?

R: 1 / I: 0Thank you to the users who make use of the report system, we do our best to take care of the crap as fast as we can.To report a post, check the box next to the post, then hit report in the bottom right.

Partyvan Alarm

When imageboards grow they tend to get some unwanted attention so maybe something like a warrant canary would be a good idea. I've never seen imageboards use this only VPN services.

Basically you host pic related somewhere and if anything funny is happening behind the scenes to the site and you want to let you user base know then you remove the sign.

R: 12 / I: 2As Finalchan becomes more popular, we will get more shitty posts. As mods, our goal is to keep Finalchan high quality for you all, while allowing every kind of opinion to thrive. Unfortunately this can end up coming across to people as FAGGOT MODS DELETED MY POSTS FOR NO REASON.We want to promote discussion,but we also want you fags to have fun, because funposting is fun.

So my question to you (users), is how should we (mods) should best manage the posting on our (all of us) site?Should we define exactly what kind of shitposting is allowed and where? Should we handle each case individually? Should we just stick to "dont be a dick" and work from there? How should we deal with inexpirienced users that break rules vs users who are intentionally being dicks? Should we use warnings (bans that last a minute or so)? Or do you want us to wield a banhammer like a drunken Thor? Should we post in the thread and explain exactly what the user did wrong?

I give a shit, so id like to know:How exactly can we serve you guys best?

Note: none of this applies to /sp/, do whatever you animals want there.

we need a board creation systemjust delete boards that have no content or admin logins relatively quickly and make a longer grace period for mod login and posting than a month.. for smaller boardsI'm sure there's fair ways to have that happen without a growing glut of ghost boards and without robbing small board owners of hard work for free

leave all major legacy board names off limits and let the cream rise to the top

R: 9 / I: 3[quote]we will accept almost all ideas into consideration.[/quote]Suggestion:pls allow hurtcore cp loli toddlerfucker kill yourself you should be in jail fgt

R: 9 / I: 1An embedded YouTube vid (http://finalchan.net/r/res/2612.html#q2647) looks correct if you go to the thread's page but a different one is shown when you go to the board page (the front page, at the moment). I remember something like that back on 8chan around a year ago, all dat nostalgia.

R: 4 / I: 0The site says I can't post webms over 120 seconds. There are a lot of good longer webms that will get left out if this isn't changed.Can the length of webm allowed be lengthened?

R: 7 / I: 0Please allow users to post the same image in different threads. Not allowing the same image in the same thread is fine, but certain images I like to reuse for certain types of posts.

R: 8 / I: 1Basic suggestions, I'd like features such as Expanding threads:Putting a catalog at the top of the page and when viewing threads when you reply.

R: 4 / I: 1Make three more shit-posting boards please. One is not enough.

FnC RnD

ITT: we discuss new functionality we could add that would make Finalchan better. This is thread is for larger proposals rather than small fixes or improvements.

If you can, one idea per post pls. If you can put some thought in, give some potential benefits, and also some issues, and ways to combat those problems.

Some previous Finalchan Labs projects: It was through a lot of discussion that the current /r/ and /sp/ system was created, and seems to be working well.Another project was FinalRadio, which would have been a user DJ'd online radio. We got it working and everything, but after we went 0/4 for hosts streaming, we realized it wasnt going to work. You can find its decaying corpse here: http://finalchan.net/rip/radio.html

Note: >If you'd like to make a board suggestion, please make a thread on /r/ about it (i.e, "/sci/ Thread!", etc), if it gets enough attention, we might consider making a board dedicated to the subject of the thread.

R: 2 / I: 2The quick replies are here, along a with a bunch of other features, and they're beautiful. Have you ever had to wipe tears of joy from an absolutely diamonds erection? Well now I have. Props to illu for these and doing the custom csses

Welcome to /s/!

This board is for banners, suggestions for boards, complaints about mods, etc. What this board is NOT for however, is: Porn, Unnecessary hate, or board suggestions.

Enjoy your stay, we will accept almost all ideas into consideration. Oh, and please, if you can, post in the banner thread.

Let me reiterate, this board is NOT for board suggestions. If you came here to suggest a board, chances are you haven't read the rules. As, it states clearly how we handle board suggestions:

"If you'd like to make a board suggestion, please make a thread on /r/ about it (i.e, "/sci/ Thread!", etc), if it gets enough attention, we might consider making a board dedicated to the subject of the thread."

As of January 6th, 2016. Any posts pertaining to board suggestions on /s/ will be locked and/or deleted.
